Putting on a show!

The Kindergarten students have been very interested in singing, preforming, wearing costumes and building stages.  Our drama centres have become the hub for major fashion and musical productions!

Writing in Kindergarten

Here are some recent examples of our Kindergarten students engaged in various writing activities.  Writing in Kindergarten involves experimenting with a variety of tools and making notes, lists, cards and recording stories for a variety of purposes.

Creating with 2D shapes & 3D solids

During our study of 2D shapes and 3D solids the students have engaged in many different building and design activities.  We have learned about different characteristics of 3D solids (such as stack, slide and roll) and real world application for these characteristics.

Our ROM visit

Our ROM visit was a big success!  Many thanks to the parent volunteers who made this trip possible (and a big thank you to everyone who volunteered, even if you weren't able to join us).

Special Helper Measurement Project

For this cycle of our special helpers we are asking families to work on a measurement project for your child to bring in on their special helper day.

We will send home a strip of paper as tall as your child.

Please choose a familiar object like a duplo block, a spoon or a toy car and help your child repeatedly trace it on their strip of paper.  We will compare our measurement tools in class!

Here is an example to help you get started:

Thank you!

Our new pets are arriving soon....

We have aquariums all set up and ready to go!  Even just the empty aquariums have generated a lot of talk, questions and curiosities.  We've begun talking about the types of fish we will have in our aquariums and how to care for them.

Our first fish will be platys.  They are a friendly tropical fish that gives live birth so we hope to have baby fish in our tanks soon!

Here's how to tell the males from females:

These are 2 breeds of platys:

This what a pregnant platy looks like:

And here is a baby platy!

Outdoor Inquiry

We continued our inquiry about snow and its properties outside now that the weather is co-operating!
